Get a single item from the inventory

I have a game where items are added to the player's PlayFab inventory rather frequently. After an item has been added, the game will request the player's inventory then store a cached version of all items. When a player has a few hundred items in the inventory, fetching their whole inventory uses a lot of data. Instead of having to re-download the whole inventory, it would be really convenient and save a lot of data if there was a way to request a single ItemInstance (or possibly a list of ItemInstances) using an ItemInstanceID or some other identifier.

A way even to say does player have item in inventory would be useful.

I think it's extremely strange that we can't Query a Single Item. I couldn't believe it so i searched the API documentation Multiple times because i thought i was missing something.

In Order for Dedicated Servers to Validate Entitlement , We have to Get All the User Inventory Of Hundreds of Items Iterate Through each one and Find the One with the ID for just a Simple Entitlement check. we have to do it for 10 Players per match so it'll add up to a lot of query.
